Yukio: The worst thing about parallel parking is the witnesses.

Riruka: No witnesses if you're bad enough at parallel parking.

Fullbringers back!

Kinda interesting to think how Urahara and Yoruichi would have recruited them. On the one hand, their ethos before this was basically self-serving, even to a point where I could see them not wanting to help out. But on the other...well, if you're a human with superpowers, wouldn't you just be waiting for somebody who would see value in that?

BLEACH COUR 3

[the-lost-bleachfics]

More things I’ve noticed/thought about while rereading The Lost Agent arc:

Tsukishima comments to Orihime that her saying she won’t let him get away isn’t “interesting enough to turn into a book,” but he later ponders aloud what Ginjo would say if he went after Ichigo directly, perhaps suggesting he would find that interesting enough for this weirdly specific standard of his.

Riruka equates meeting Tsukishima to being saved by Ginjo, as the results of her and the others being not normal. Being saved (whatever that means to her) is explicitly a good thing, so what does that say about what Tsukishima was to the group? And it’s not because she was marked, either, as Ginjo being the only one marked is a plot point.

During Ginjo and Tsukishima’s battle (taking place after Ichigo’s training with Jackie), Ginjo gets cut in the eyebrow and it bleeds, later scarring. This is after we already saw that when Tsukishima cut Orihime, it left no wound on her. An otherwise minimal moment in the grand scheme of the arc, but it was a very subtle way to show Book of the End having two different effects, which Riruka somewhat explains when she’s cut by it later. (He does also cleave a metal door in half, undeniably physical damage, but when the question of his ability becomes if it’s memory-based or affecting the past itself, it’s hard to say if that’s the blade’s doing or the result of altering the door’s past. Y’know, as one does.)

Ginjo does have a beam attack prior to absorbing Ichigo’s Fullbring. It’s unclear what it’s made of in the manga.

Related, while it’s fairly commonly recognized that Ginjo’s bankai form is roughly the same as the form Ichigo attains (albeit incompletely) against Yhwach in the Horn of Salvation chapter, i.e. a complete integration of all his powers—the large blast Ginjo lets loose that Ichigo catches with his palm is consequently likely the same as Ichigo’s combined Getsuga and Gran Rey Cero.

I’ve talked on my main blog about the moon symbolism during the last beats of the arc, but it’s worth mentioning that the moon as one of the between sketches appears earlier, just before the chapter Loading to Lie. This is, of course, the chapter where Ichigo first enters Yukio’s game with Ginjo, who over the next few chapters seems to pull a fast one on him. If the moon is still Ginjo, the clouds moving to cover it reflect his false behavior here.

Might just be a coincidence, but when Ginjo first explains to Ichigo that there was a Deputy Soul Reaper before Ichigo, the image paired with it resembles Tsukishima’s memory of Ginjo while he was a Soul Reaper (chiefly the hairstyle).

Yukio and Aura joining forces in CFYOW is even more interesting than I realized, because Yukio describes part of his childhood as being “locked away in a room with everything inside it” due to his parents’ disdain for him. And Aura’s father, albeit out of overprotectiveness on the opposite end, did much the same to her. Though he deprived her of a lot materially, which probably prevented her from attaining a personal Fullbring, whereas Yukio’s undoubtedly formed out of that environment.

Tsukishima’s expression when he lunges toward Ichigo after Kugo’s death is grave and intense. When Rukia jumps in front of Ichigo to try to protect him, though, it becomes almost a delighted smile. Considering we know he’s truly going for the kill as Riruka says so, meaning Book of the End isn’t active to alter the past, I wonder if that excitement is an extension of what he feels when he breaks somebody using his ability. And if knowing someone Ichigo cares about was about to be injured or killed trying to save him first, he felt that psychological damage on top would be even more devastating revenge than just killing Ichigo without it. Which of course he wants, given who Ichigo has just taken away from him.

The scene near the end where Riruka wakes up in Urahara’s shop, Orihime lists Ginjo among the Fullbringers she was told they “couldn’t find.” Both Riruka and Ichigo know, however, that Ginjo’s whereabouts aren’t a mystery in the least—well, maybe where his soul ended up still is, but not the fact that it’d been separated from his body by death. It seems Ichigo (and probably Rukia since she was there too) chose to keep that from her, and Riruka’s reaction, before realizing Tsukishima’s absence in the list, might indicate she has realized this.

Riruka: No, I do not have a crush on Ichigo! He's just someone that I like to stare at. And when he's not here it kinda ruins my day. Yukio: ... Seriously?
